[comp.lang.misc] Seeking information about SIMSCRIPT

owen@methods.UUCP (Owen Plowman Mr. Tech.) (09/08/87)

Hi there!  Can anybody point me in the direction of some information
about the SIMSCRIPT language.  Reference material, books (if any),
source (is it the RAND Corporation?) and stuff like that would all be
very welcome.

I am looking for this stuff because I have been asked to take a look at
some SIMSCRIPT code (from a maintenance viewpoint!), and I don't know
anything about the language, other than that it is used for simulation.
The people I am doing this for are being *extremely* slow and unhelpful
in dishing up information.

Please e-mail your replies.

In article <433@methods.UUCP> I asked:

I now know that SIMSCRIPT is available, together with manuals, from:

	C.A.C.I.
	12011 San Vicente Blvd.
	Los Angeles, California
	90049

	(213) 476-6511

Special thanks go to those people who responded to my question:

	Steve Schlaifer 	<mahendo.Jpl.Nasa.Gov!steve>
	Steve Cavrak 		<uvm-gen!cavrak>
	David Anderson          <fortune!da> 
	Bill Gunshannon		<westpt!bill>

Of course, if I had thought hard enough, I might have remembered
seeing the CACI advertisement in IEEE Computer that was sitting on my
desk!  Anyway, thank you all.
